Comment on Leaked Documents Show Meta Cracking Down on Access to Abortion Information

  I just use it for marketplace, and when I get on I check the feed and it’s worse every time I get on, glitchy, doesn’t show you friend posts anymore all groups instead, and otherwise just is unpleasant to use. They aren’t making it better either or fixing any of those glitches because they’ve no competition I would add.

  But a straight laced guy I know, had his business on there, not breaking any laws, older, got his account removed with no explanation, no way for him to contact anyone, everything gone, for supposedly violating community standards.

  We should have rights, we should have a clear set of rules with an appealable process but also legal protections for when the rules are applied unfairly. Instead we have the government and big business pressuring them to apply the rules unfairly or else they will go after them on regulation and what have you. Half the time it’s the government that is the one behind someone getting banned for no good reason, whereas in civilized countries they can appeal unfair actions to a court to reinstate users, as I understand it.

      Where can we get used stuff without it though? There are no classified ads, I can’t not get used gear sometimes I don’t have the money to buy new all the time.

      I want to quit but I need it sometimes for that if there are no other workable options.

        Ask people. Craigslist. Offerup. Neighborhood swaps.

        Do you absolutely need to buy things?

        Either way, the reason there aren’t other options is because people aren’t quitting. So they won. And you are basically handing money over to Facebook to do more of the same.

        The only way out is to quit.

    I only use it for marketplace too with a fake name and only access it on a computer that I don’t care about much. Fuck Facebook for taking my precious Craigslist away from me.

      They have long been banning people for that, I think 15 years have said people have to use their real names, and have froze peoples’ accounts (not letting them delete them until unfroze,) and demanded ID and video of themselves moving this way and that and doing such and such. Even then they’ve denied legitimate users I’ve heard so it’s odd.

      But they do target people for using fake names, and it’s getting enshrined into law in a lot of places if we don’t stop them. Lawmakers really want to be able to crush any dissent, whether it’s on their foreign policy, climate change, environmental protests, or soon protests about them, and economic situations. They want age checks identifying every account and ip and palantir type organizations giving social scores and distributing threat assessments to business and government to be used against you secretly in a way you cannot know about or challenge.

      Being rolled out worldwide at the same time, surrendering us to tech.
